232. The Loch Ness Monster

[@simbacrompir]

My favorite podcast/KZbin channel. Everyday I m suffering through 10mile runs with you guys and I m truly grateful. Please let me add when I saw Loch Ness monster it asked me for about Tree Fiddy (pop reference)

I am being a bit foolish for I am commenting before I complete the podcast. Wen I was a child, I so much wanted Nessie to be a real aquatic reptile or dinosaur. I have always been interested in photography. I also learned that a photograph can lie. A gust of wind on a quiet lake can generate mini waves that throw off the scale of a tight photograph. A log or water bird like a loon, can appear high in poor light. When taking pictures of loons and cormorants in Minnesota, they began to look like some of the Nessie photos. I had to grow up. Then scientists pointed out what now seems obvious. Their reconstruction of theropod dinosaurs had been poor, feathers were ancient, and dinosaurs are still with us. So now I can say in all honesty, the lock Ness supports multiple populations of avian dinosaurs. A bit of equivocation there, but to know dinosaurs are still with us, makes every child in us leap for joy!

Travelled down the west side of Loch Ness. Didn't see any sign of Nessie the monster. Instead was struck by the beauty of nature to carve out the great valley by glaciers.

I love this channel. And I love the way YOU Tube generously allows you to listen to it now and again as a refreshing break between the adverts

Cobbet1215. The interruptions are even more generous now on the lead up to Christmas. Every 2-3 minutes this morning whilst trying to get through a massive pile of ironing 😮

[@martiwilliams4592]

Very interesting and entertaining. Thanks so much!

[@billkohnen666]

Fantastic- my childhood introduction to Nessie, Bigfoot, Yeti, UFOs etc was the 70’s US tv series hosted by Leonard “Mr. Spock” Nimoy called, In Search of.

[@neenaj365]

Do you have shares in Usborme books Dr Dominic? It seems to be the main brand of books you’ve mentioned…love the show whether you do or not!

Tbf we don't ever want to categorically disprove the Loch Ness Monster because the world would be a less interesting and magical place 🙂

[@bucksolo703]

I remember in elementary school I read a book about the loch ness monster. In the book their was a picture taken in the 70s i believe and it was kind of grainy but you could make out the long neck the head and a flipper. Does anyone remember this picture because I cannot find it anywhere on the internet. Reply if you have seen it please.

[@JuneAdams-li9sy]

I've seen that photograph many times.

[@bearhustler]

Saints fighting malevolent amphibians made me laugh.

[@SeanRCope]

Test the water. If it lives it bleeds, expels waste sheds its skin etc… find anything unknown or do not, done and done.

[@greyfriars6540]

Marmaduke Wetherell and his Hippo-foot. Sounds like a charactor from a boys adventure comic like Biggles or Bulldog Drummond.

[@michaelbedford8017]

'I love science' (?) Shouldn't it be: 'I love science, me'.

[@michaelbedford8017]

'It picks up velocity as it gathers weight' (?). Mm. Something wrong there.

[@Johnconno]

After a month of drinking whiskey I saw the Loch Ness Monster.

[@KeithWilliamMacHendry]

It must have been an Irish monster since you were drinking whiskey, not whisky.

[@Johnconno]

@@KeithWilliamMacHendry Ay, 'twas. 🕳️

[@sharynw6640]

Nessie, friend of the show?

[@famebrightstudio451]

Enemy of the show.

[@famebrightstudio451]

Big eels.

[@Georgieastra]

One Saint who took on the Loch Ness Monster was Simon Templar in Season 5 Episode 6. Spoiler Alert: The villain perishes in mysterious circumstances and may very well have been victim of Nessie 😲😳🤯

[@pbryan1967]

Wikipedia says it was Wetherells son Ian, rather than M.A.Wetherell who cooked up the surgeons photo hoax.

[@pbryan1967]

Speaking of “the Hitler Diaries” … that would also make a great podcast topic, no?

[@Ozgipsy]

Gold😂

[@AngusRockford]

Any crypto-zoologist today, not to mention any crypto currency bro, could still be easily duped by the likes of Marmaduke Wetherell and his hippo-footed umbrella stand.

[@fraserct533]

There is. NO mystery? Nessie is 200% REAL. NO question. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
